The Five Animal Character Development Program© understands that children between the ages of 4-9 years old are extremely interested and curious about nature and animals. If you have children you definitely know what we are talking about. Children love animals and children love rewards.
So after researching and studying child development and behavior we realized a few very important and interesting discoveries about children.
- They are simple
- They love to use their imagination
- They love to pretend to be animals
- They love praise and reward
- They want to follow directions and rules
The Five Animal Character Development Program© does all of the above.
